Originally built by the Wadiyar Dynasty as an exclusive guest house for the Maharajah’s elite British visitors, the property beautifully preserves its regal legacy while blending modern luxury. The hotel features 30 grand suites and elegantly appointed rooms, most with private balconies that evoke old-world charm, glamor, and nostalgia. Renowned for warm Indian hospitality, it remains a preferred choice for discerning travelers seeking refined comfort and heritage ambiance. Culinary experiences include the open-air courtyard barbecue restaurant Shikari, the vintage-themed bar Skan'del, and the iconic Indian specialty restaurant Tiger Trail, celebrated for its signature tagline, “The Last Word in Indian Food.” Recreational and event facilities include a Gaming Zone for children, three boutique-style banquet venues ideal for corporate gatherings and celebrations, manicured heritage gardens, a swimming pool, and a fully equipped fitness center. To enhance the royal experience, guests can indulge in a 30-minute Royal Chariot Ride across the city, including a drive past the magnificent Mysore Palace, as well as participate in an immersive Royal Heritage Walk.
